| 01.31.22 | Quantum apocalypse and other trivial matters

 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY:

  • Not to brag, but Fierce Electronics has been providing weekly updates on quantum computing news for a while. While the technology is complex, it also gets into the scarier bits-- topics like the quantum apocalypse. (As if we needed any other Earth-ending apocalypse to keep us busy.) Check out our latest entry.
  • And while we are on it, another apocalypse: a war with China over chips and supplies. With guidance from an ancient Athenian historian and general, analyst Roger Entner lays it out for you. Rather, he says we need to avoid war with the U.S. and Europe by getting busy on long-term solutions to the supply chain. Like, decades-long. - Matt Hamblen
